Lee Hinman commented on LUCENE-6046:
------------------------------------

bq. I think for this issue we should allow passing in a "how much work are you 
willing to do" to RegExp.toAutomaton, and it throws an exc when it would exceed 
that.

For what it's worth, I think this would be a good solution for us, much better 
than silently (from the user's perspective) freezing and then hitting an OOME.

> When creating an automaton from an org.apache.lucene.util.automaton.RegExp, 
> it's possible for the automaton to use so much memory it exceeds the maximum 
> array size for java.
> The following caused an OutOfMemoryError with a 32gb heap:
> {noformat}
> new 
> RegExp("\\[\\[(Datei|File|Bild|Image):[^]]*alt=[^]|}]{50,200}").toAutomaton();
> {noformat}
> When increased to a 60gb heap, the following exception is thrown:
